kisht-e-ummid barwar na hui
lakh suraj uge sahar na hui

hum musafir the dhup ke hum se
naz-bardari-e-shajar na hui

mujh ko afsos hai ki teri taraf
sab ne dekha meri nazar na hui

ghar ki taqsim ke siwa ab tak
koi taqrib mere ghar na hui

nam mera to tha sar-e-fihrist
ittifaqan mujhe khabar na hui

jaane kya apna haal kar leta
khair guzri use khabar na hui
